Joint Statement Issued by Communist Party of India (Marxist), Communist
Party of India, Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation,
Revolutionary Socialist Party and All India Forward Bloc 

 

Support the July 9 General Strike

 

The five undersigned Left parties extend their full support to the
countrywide general strike called on July 9, 2025, by the Joint Platform of
Trade Unions, comprising ten Central Trade Unions (CTUs) and independent
all-India sectoral federations and associations. The general strike has been
called mainly against the implementation of the Labour Codes, which are a
key part of the corporate agenda aimed at severely curtailing the basic
democratic rights of workers, including their right to organise and
undertake collective action.

The BJP-led government, now in its third term, is aggressively advancing its
neoliberal agenda, of which the Labour Codes are a central component. It is
aggressively moving towards the privatisation of vital national resources,
particularly in strategic sectors such as defence and communications. It is
also seeking to suppress all opposition to these anti-worker policies.

The July 9 general strike reiterates the demands raised by the trade unions,
which also reflect the concerns of peasants, agricultural workers, and the
broader public. The Samyukta Kisan Morcha, agricultural workers'
organsations have also extended their support to the general strike and
called for massive mobilisations on the day. The general strike, along with
these solidarity actions by peasantry, will help strengthen the unity of the
working people against attempts to divide them and spread hatred.

The Left parties call upon the people to support the general strike and urge
all our units to actively campaign and mobilise in large numbers to ensure
its success.
